How MEP Coordination adapts BIM?






In the construction industry, new technology is most often embraced. For AEC (architectural, engineering, construction) professionals and firms, the development of the Building Information Modelling technology has proved to be a boon. Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing or MEP coordination is an integral part of the constructability review process and this process is easily facilitated utilizing BIM.

MEP services are a crucial part of a functioning building structure. They include gas piping, fire protection, data systems, pneumatic tubing, etc. Coordination of MEP services ensures that the layout of these services does not clash with each other or with the structural or architectural disciplines. Before beginning actual construction, all coordination challenges must be addressed.

When it comes to the coordination of MEP, it has always been a challenge to stay within budget. Also, the conventional process of MEP is not very efficient. There is always the risk of human error in an extensive process such as this one. In the case of large projects, the process proves to be cumbersome. With the adoption of the latest BIM technology in preconstruction, the time spent on designing building systems has been effectually reduced. Using BIM has many benefits, the most lauded of which is the automatic clash detection. As it is an intelligent 3D model-based process, it helps AEC professionals to properly visualize the space. It presents a collaborative environment for use by the construction professionals, engineers, contractors, architects, etc. and speeds up the design coordination process. A BIM-based approach greatly lowers costs and increases productivity.

The use of BIM technology for MEP coordination is steadily increasing, all over the globe. With it increases the demand for experienced and skilled professionals in this field. Any good MEP engineering firm worth its salt has already incorporated BIM technology into its workflow. Seek out the right company for MEP Consulting for managing the coordination of MEP services from start to finish in a quick and cost-effective way without compromising on the quality of the same.

A Brief look into IPLV/NPLV

Image
The Integrated Part Load Value (IPLV) is a performance characteristic developed by the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). It is most commonly used to describe the performance of a chiller capable of capacity modulation.  Unlike an EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) or COP (coefficient of performance), which describes the efficiency at full load conditions, the IPLV is derived from the equipment efficiency while operating at various capacities. Since a chiller does not always run at 100% capacity, the EER or COP is not an ideal representation of the typical equipment performance. The IPLV is a very important value to consider since it can affect energy usage and operating costs throughout the lifetime of the equipment. Energy codes such as ASHRAE Standard 90.1 specifies minimum values for the equipment. Fig 1: Water Cooled Chiller The IPLV is calculated using the efficiency of the equipment while operating at capacities of 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%. For the purpose

5 Reasons why you need MEP Engineering Consultants Help Your Company?

Image
  Whether you’re a contractor, architect, or building owner, hiring MEP consulting engineers can ensure that your renovation or construction project will optimize your building’s appearance and reduce its operating costs. MEP engineers work in tandem with architects and proprietors throughout the construction, design, and operations processes, examining and evaluating system benefits in the context of the entire project. This strategy enables MEP engineers to execute systems that blend with building architecture and function as designed. With all the multiple technologies and systems functioning in modern buildings, coupled with efforts to aim for sustainable design and necessary accreditation, an MEP engineer can offer thriving coordination of building systems and services while optimizing the building owner’s investment. Let’s take a look at 5 areas where an MEP engineer would have a considerable influence on a construction or renovation project: Heating, ventilation, and air conditi

Prompt Consulting: MEP Services and their Significance in Construction Business

Image
MEP Engineering Services  are some of the crucial services that are needed for building projects by architects and engineers. MEP systems are popular among AEC professionals for their technicalities and complexities, and their modeling requires quite an effort. Professional modelers of service providing company must be involved in the execution of  MEP services . MEP is a sunshade word for mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems of the construction. And therefore when we say MEP modeling, these services are performed for developing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing models for designing MEP models the involvement of mechanical engineer, electrical engineer and plumbing engineer is extremely important.  MEP engineering consultants  are technical experts in this region and they know it very well that how to deal with the complexities of these projects. Before executing modeling services for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems specific layouts are generated for MEP compo
